A review by amylia
Hot-Blooded Hunter by Katie Lewis
5.0
This is not the typical book I would pick up or review, but I am so glad I read this! It’s one of my first 5-star books of the year. The blurb undersells everything you’ll get in this book. If you’re looking for a fluffy, light romance, this is not what you want. If you’re looking for something dark and creepy with amazing characters, this is the book you want!
The book drops you right into the world of these vampire hunters which hooked me from the very beginning. There were several cringey moments that had me put the book down to clear my brain of the mental images (my threshold for violence and blood is non-existent), which to me means Lewis did her job with descriptions.
My absolute favorite thing about this book were the characters. They were fully developed and complex. I felt so bad for the things Trace was grappling with- previous addictions, hiding secrets from his family, and trying to avenge his parents murder by vampires. Ilana was very relatable as an upper teen trying to figure out what she wants vs what life has been planned out for her.
I binge-read this book in one day because I couldn’t handle not knowing what was happening next. Any book that can combine badass female vampire hunters, corny dad jokes, and extremely well written adult scenes is worth a read to me! Can't wait to read the sequel.
